"She Keeps Me Human"

Hello Humane Society of New York,

Last August I happened into your shelter with a friend, thinking I was just going to play with some kittens on a Sunday afternoon.  Instead, I ended up adopting a kitten.  

You guys had dubbed her “Lupe”, but I named her Ellie instead.  Eleanor Meowsevelt, actually, because “no one can make you feel inferior without your purr-mission” J.  I certainly hadn't meant to get a cat that day, but when I met her, I knew she and I were perfect for each other.  Apparently, you did, too.  I am so glad you did.

This beautiful cat had been one of the greatest things that has ever happened to me.  She is the sweetest, softest, funniest, cuddliest cat I have ever met, and she makes me laugh every single day.  She even plays fetch (for real, she has a toy mouse I’ll throw and she’ll run and get, then bring back to me to throw again and again)!  

I don’t know how frequently you get emails updating you on the pets that are adopted from your location, but I had to share with you how much she has brought to my life.  I’m a graduate student living by myself in Brooklyn, so there are days when I’ll be studying from morning to night and wont ever leave the house, But Ellie is always with me, on my lap while I read journal articles, or helping relieve my stress with the sound of her constant purring.  She keeps me human, she keeps me smiling, and she’s very vocal, so she actually chirps back at me when I talk to her.

I want you to know how happy she and I both are together.  She found a wonderful, loving home, and I found an adorable, caring companion.  We are a perfect pair, and I look forward to having her in my life for many, many years to come. 

Thank you again!
